Your meanings, words and intentions must include a serious
consideration of their

- need for retreat, current positions and stances, their
privileges and rights, reputation and goodwill, and craving
or hopes for glory.

"Heroism is the brilliant triumph of the soul over the
flesh, that is to say over fear: fear of poverty, of
suffering, of calumny, of illness, of loneliness and of
death. There is no real piety without heroism."
- Henri Fr?d?ric Amiel

There is no real heroism without courage. There is no real
courage without commitment!

Communicate for Competence!
Build It, Strengthen It, Grow It!

Elevate the competence of your people and their work

-> develop, discover, evaluate and strengthen the amount,
impact and relevance of the team's

"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have
greatness thrust upon 'em" - William Shakespeare

The good leader finds and allows greatness to blossom, the
better leader encourages greatness to rise-up and assert
itself, the greatest leader puts the ordinary into direct
contact with greatness!

Use these 3 "C"s in your written and oral, formal or
informal communications. You'll see others respond to your
ideas and follow your instructions with more enthusiasm.

I sometimes advise leaders to state the purpose of their
words first, then provide more details to their audience.
For example, tell them you want their commitment, then tell
them why you need it and what you hope to achieve with it.

When it comes to poor or weak communications, don't be a
victim or perpetrator!

Use your leadership opportunities to clearly, passionately
and capably communicate your true intentions - you can do it
because you want to, you believe you can and you are capable
of doing it well!

"Art is a human activity having for its purpose the
transmission to others of the highest and best feelings to
which men have risen." - Count Leo Tolstoy

Use the art of purposeful leadership communications to
elevate, encourage and empower your people to superior
levels of performance!
